In this episode of Business Leader Breakthroughs, we’re trying something different—an AI-powered deep dive into what Gen Z and Millennials really want from work.
Here’s the headline: 94% of Gen Z don’t want traditional leadership roles. The problem? Most managers aren’t equipped to deliver what this generation actually values. They manage tasks. They don’t build people. And that disconnect? It’s costing companies future leadership, innovation, and engagement.
Using Google's NotebookLM to analyse Deloitte's 2025 global survey, we unpack the manager gap—and what needs to change.
Is this the future of podcasting? Fast, fact-packed, and future-focused? Hit play, decide for yourself, and tell us what you think.
